SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - January 30, 2009) - 1st Pacific Bancorp (NASDAQ: [ FPBN ]), the holding company for 1st Pacific Bank of California, today reported a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 of $14.9 million, or ($3.01) per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.5 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2007. The net loss was primarily the result of a one-time, non-recurring 100% write down of goodwill in the amount of $10.4 million and $8.95 million in provisions for loan losses during the year. Additionally, rapidly falling interest rates caused significant compression of our net interest margin compared to the prior year.

1st Pacific Bank remains "well-capitalized" by regulatory standards, with a Total Risk-Based capital ratio of 10.36% and a Tier 1 Risk-Based capital ratio of 7.83%. To be considered "well-capitalized" a bank must have over 10% Total Risk-Based capital and 6% Tier 1 Risk-Based capital. The non-cash charge for goodwill impairment did not impact the calculation of regulatory capital because goodwill and other intangibles are excluded from regulatory capital.

Compared to December 31, 2007, loans as of December 31, 2008 increased from $349.8 million to $358.9 million, an increase of 2.6%, deposits declined from $345.4 million to $333.9 million, a decrease of 3.3% and total assets increased from $414.7 million to $427.9 million, an increase of 3.2%.

As of December 31, 2008, our loan loss reserve was $5.1 million, or 1.42% of total loans outstanding. The year-end provision for loan losses followed an extensive review of the entire loan portfolio. Nonperforming assets as of December 31, 2008 totaled $13.6 million. "The determination of the adequacy of the loan loss reserve took into consideration the reasonable potential for loans returning to a performing status and the adequacy of the collateral securing those loans," said President and Chairman of the Board Ron Carlson.

"The bank has a diversified deposit base provided by our eight branches and we maintain substantial additional liquidity sources through lines of credit established with the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank," commented Jim Burgess, Chief Financial Officer. He further indicated that the bank is participating in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation program in which all non-interest bearing deposits are fully insured by the FDIC through December 31, 2009, regardless of amount. Recent increases in FDIC insurance for interest bearing deposits as well as the bank's ability to use the CDARS program provide our depositors the ability to obtain the maximum FDIC insurance for their accounts.

"The Board of Directors and management team are focused on improving asset quality, reducing the level of problem assets and returning to profitability. While this was a challenging year for the banking industry we are cautiously optimistic that we will make meaningful progress in these areas in the next few quarters," said Carlson.
